"no we do not love humanity; but on the other hand we are not nearly 'german' enough, in the sense in which the word 'german' is being constantly used nowadays, to advocate nationalism and race hatred and to be able to take pleasure in the national scbies of the heart and blood-poisoning that now leads the nations of europe to delimit and barricate themselves against each other as if it were a matter of quarantine"
-F. Nietzsche

"we owe the quasi-totality of our discoveries to our violences, to the exacerbation of our disequilibrium.
Even God, insofar as he intrigues us, is not to be found in our most intimate depths, but rather at the exterior limit of our fever, at the precise point where, our rage colliding with his, a shock results, an encounter that is equally ruinous for him and for us. Stricken with the malediction attached to acts, the violent man does nor force his nature, does not go beyond himself, except to furiously re-enter, as aggressor, followed by his enterprises, which come to punish him for having raised them."
-E. Cioran
